Fits in better in an "architecture" challenge instead of "city life". But it's a nice day and a nice composition. :)

This feels ever-so-slightly off-balance

I like the symmetry & perspective in this shot. Could use about a half degree clockwise rotation though.

Great shot of the Petronas - lovely background sky and good level of detail / sharpness in the shot. It would meet a "City" challenge a lot more than "City Life" though. It would still make a great print though.

Great angle, great shot.....

There seems to be a smudgy grey spot on the sky, in between the tops of the two towers. I wonder why that is? Otherwise the composition is good and I like the photo overall.

Very nice. It actually makes me feel a bit bad about not having submitted a similar photograph, which I had taken.

Wow!!! Great perspective, maybe a little to dark on the buildings?

Good shot, though it seems to have been shot or cropped unevenly.

Good composition and exposure! It works wel for the subject matter. It almost looks like someone looking over a pair of binoculars.

This kind of photo straight up a building always seems like it should be more interesting than it actually turns out, ends up feeling really static to me and the sky is not all that compelling as a point of final gaze

malasia? awesome shot! cool colors and nicely balanced.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nicely exposed, but I wonder what else you could have done to make this shot more unique?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/05/2006 04:10:31 PM
Great symmetry! Very good exposure, nice detail. Good job.

This is pretty cool, but I feel like if I could see part of the ground or something in it, I would get a better feeling of perspective and not feel as if I'm looking from half-way up the towers.

nice composition, but no "life"
